A F#m G I wish that I was eighteen, A Do all the things, F#m G You read in a magazine A F#m G C G D I'm not saying I wanna be Charlie Sheen.

Chorus: D A She told me to meet her there, Em I can't afford the bus fare, I'm not old enough for her, G Gm I'm just waiting 'til I'm eighteen. I think she wants to get with me, but she's got a job in the city Says that she's always too busy (Hey!) She's got a naughty tattoo in a place that I wanna get to But my mom still drives me to school So, tell me, what else can I do?
